BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY A banknote recognition device installed in a vending machine etc. has a banknote return device for a banknote inserted by a customer for the purpose of purchase, assuming that the customer withdraws his/her intention to purchase the banknote due to a sellout, etc. There is.

This banknote return device is a banknote recognition device in which banknotes inserted from a banknote input slot are stored in a banknote storage via a banknote passage by a banknote transport means, and a banknote storage roller provided in the banknote storage is rotated in a reverse direction. Accordingly, the banknotes to be returned in the banknote storage are returned to the banknote path (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 16094/1983).

Problems to be solved by the invention However, vending machines are often installed outdoors, under adverse weather conditions (rain, high humidity, dust, etc.)
In addition, because an unspecified number of customers use banknotes in all kinds of conditions, the return banknotes once stored in the banknote storage overlap with other banknotes that were stored earlier, and as a result, the banknotes deposited this time are banknotes,
In other words, there were cases in which banknotes could not be returned.

Therefore, the present invention aims to prevent the trouble of returning banknotes once stored.

Means for Solving the Problems And in order to achieve this object, the present invention is provided in the banknote storage, and when the banknote storage is rotated in the forward direction, it directly contacts the storage banknotes sent from the banknote passage to the banknote storage. a roller that causes the banknotes to be returned to the banknote passage to perform a storage operation and, when rotated in the reverse direction, directly contacts the banknotes to be returned in the banknote storage to perform a return operation to the banknote path; and a rotation drive that rotates this roller in the forward or reverse direction. means, a detection means provided at the entrance/exit to the banknote storage of the banknote passage and detecting whether or not a banknote to be returned has been returned to the banknote path at the time of banknote return; and a solenoid that repeatedly presses and releases the roller against the return banknote when it is detected that the banknote is not returned.

With the above configuration, when the detection means detects that the bill is not returned from the bill storage to the bill path when returning the bill, the roller that is in direct contact with the return paper is activated by the solenoid. As a result, the return bill is repeatedly pressed and released.

As a result, a shock is directly applied to the return banknote due to the pressure and separation of the roller. In this case, both the banknotes previously stored in the banknote storage and the banknotes stored this time (return banknotes) are old ones on the market, so simply applying the reverse rotational force of the rollers will cause the rollers to deteriorate. Only the bill portions to which the reverse rotational force is applied are bent in an overlapping state, and as a result, it is impossible to escape from the non-return state.

On the other hand, if a solenoid is used to directly press the roller against the return banknotes and apply an impact as they separate, as in the present invention, the overlap of the old banknotes will also be loosened, and as a result, the return banknotes will be in the non-return state. For example, the banknote can be removed from being glued to other banknotes, allowing the banknote to be returned.

Embodiment The figure shows a banknote identification device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a device main body, and the front side of the device main body 1 is provided with a banknote slot, and this banknote slot is provided inside the device main body 1. The banknote storage 3 is connected to the banknote storage 3 via a banknote passage 2. This banknote passage 2 is provided with a banknote conveying means composed of a belt 4 and rollers 5 to 10, and the banknotes inserted from the banknote slot are transported to a banknote conveying means composed of a belt 4 and rollers 5 to 10. The banknotes are delivered to the banknote storage 3 by the rotation (forward rotation) of the transport means for depositing money, and the banknotes are delivered to the banknote storage 3 by rotating each transport means in the reverse direction during the refund operation.
The return banknotes are taken out and returned to the banknote slot via the banknote path 2.

Further, a detection means 11 consisting of a light receiving element and a light emitting element is disposed at the entrance/exit of the banknote storage 3 in the banknote passage 2, and the presence or absence of a banknote in the banknote passage 2 is detected by this detection means 11, This allows the return roller 10 to detect whether or not the banknote is being returned. In addition, during this return operation, if the detection means 11 does not detect the return of the banknote, a solenoid is activated to directly press the return roller 10 against the return banknote in the banknote storage 3 and release it. Turn on power to 12
- A control unit is provided to turn it off. 13 is a banknote.

Next, to explain the operation, the figure shows that the return banknote 13a stored in the banknote storage 3 when returning the banknote,
This shows a state in which the banknotes do not rise to the banknote path 2, and is a phenomenon that occurs when a load greater than the pulling force of the rollers 10 is applied to the return banknotes 13a. Even if the roller 10 is rotated in the direction of the arrow for a predetermined period of time, the return bill 13a does not reach the position of the detection means 11.
If it does not rise, turn on the solenoid 12 to separate the roller 10 from the return banknote 13a that has been in direct pressure contact with it, or turn off the solenoid 12 to move the roller 10 directly against the return banknote 13a again. The pressure contact is repeatedly carried out, and as a result, a shock is directly applied to the return banknote 13a, and as a result, for example, the banknote 1
The overlapping portions of banknotes 3a and other banknotes 13 are loosened, making it easier for the return banknotes 13a to rise.

Note that if the condition is not improved even after applying such an impact action, that is, if the bill is not pulled up by the rollers 10, as a second means,
The banknote storage 3 is moved from the refund state to the standby state again, and after returning to the refund state and changing the alignment state of the banknotes, the rollers 10 pull them up again.

By repeating the above operation several times as one cycle, refund troubles caused by the return banknotes 13a not coming out from the banknote storage 3 to the banknote path 2 can be significantly reduced.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention is provided in a banknote storage of a banknote identification device, and when the banknote recognition device rotates forward, it directly contacts banknotes sent to the banknote storage from the banknote passage to perform a storage operation. a roller that directly contacts the return banknotes in the banknote storage and returns them to the banknote path when rotating in the reverse direction; a rotation drive means that rotates the roller forward or reverse; a detection means provided at the entrance/exit to the banknote storage for detecting whether or not a banknote to be returned has been returned to the banknote path when returning the banknote; and a detection means that detects that the banknote is not returned to the banknote path. Then, the solenoid is configured to repeatedly press and release the roller against the return banknote.

With the above configuration, when the detecting means detects that the banknote is not returned when returning the banknote, the solenoid causes the banknote return roller that is in direct contact with the banknote to be returned. This means that the banknotes will be pressed and released repeatedly.

In addition, in the present invention, the roller for returning banknotes is driven by a solenoid only when the detection means detects that the bill is not returned to obtain an impact when the bill is not returned, so it is cheaper than providing a separate roller for impact. This makes it easier to downsize.
